BOX SLIDING SASH WINDOWS
Reviving an old favourite for renovations
PDS have rejuvenated an old favourite by adding the traditional and cherished sliding
sash window to their diverse range. The replica box sliding sash window is traditional in
both appearance and construction, complete with weights, cords and pulleys, as per the
original design. Although intelligently conceived and fabricated to closely replicate the
time honoured product in many aspects, this modern recreation embraces and benefits
from the latest manufacturing technology,
utilising engineered laminated timber, high
performance double glazing, microporous water
based factory applied paint finish and triple
weather seals.
Previously, when old box sash windows were
removed due to performance failure, these
were often replaced by very basic top opening
casement windows, or ‘rip - out’, frames which
achieved the objective of reducing overall
renewal costs but regretfully, often severely
compromised the visual appeal . More recently,
due to pressure from conservation and planning
organisations, anxious to maintain the look of
old buildings and indeed new dwellings in ‘sensitive’ areas, there is a renewed demand
for building products which will pacify the traditionalists, whilst satisfying the most
stringent modern building regulation requirements.

- Comprehensive 10 year warranty against
manufacturing defects
PDS are continuing to expand the scope of their bespoke
services and therefore the traditional box window is available
in virtually any size - made to measure. By incorporating
such revered products into the PDS range, we are doing our
bit to preserve the Country’s heritage and also, by combining
traditional craftsmanship with more efficient methods of
procurement and production, ensuring that everyone is
afforded the opportunity to appreciate the elegance and
grace of time-honoured English design.

HIGH TECH SUSTAINABLE TIMBER
& ALUMINIUM CLAD WINDOWS
The most recent addition to the ever increasing PDS product portfolio
is the flush casement range of high performance sustainable timber
windows, including fully reversible styles and Polyester powder
coated aluminium faced options, all skilfully fashioned to satisfy
the most stringent of project requirements, with regard to design
flexibility, energy efficiency, enhanced security and visible appeal.
Whether specifying beautiful natural timber or ultra low maintenance aluminium
clad designs, PDS can now provide you with a window system which also offers a
comprehensive choice of complementary low energy and acoustic rated factory
glazing, yielding whole window U values as low as 0.8 and sound reduction ratings
of up to 38db.
Naturally, this new PDS window collection has been precisely constructed and tested
to ensure compliance with the very latest Secured by Design performance
requirements. Moreover, as fully paid up, well established members of the BM Trada
Q-Mark Scheme, our windows and doorsets routinely undergo rigorous third party
assessment - a fact not lost on the many specifiers who continue to stipulate the
use of PDS products, especially when anxious to ensure exceptional long term
optimum performance.
All PDS windows are delivered to site factory glazed and fully pre finished with a highly
decorative and protective microporous coating, available in a vast array of RAL colours and
stains, including a clear lacquered option for the interior faces.

DECORATIVE
GLASS OPTIONS
An expansive range of factory fitted,
decorative leaded, bevelled and etched,
high performance sealed unit glass
patterns are readily available
to complement PDS made to measure
door and window products. Our own
experienced craftsmen also produce
specialist purpose designed units,
comprised of individual panes of
coloured and patterned glass, with
hand applied lead and or decorative
bevels to specifically suit your personal
taste or add that defining "wow" factor
to a prestigious project

BONDED BAR
PDS have developed an environmentally
friendly, engineered timber composite
pinless beading system, which also
provides a highly effective means of
reproducing multi pane and marginal bar
designs on timber windows, without
resorting to the time consuming
manufacture of individual glass panes
and machining timber bars and muntins.
In keeping with the other laminated knot
free profiles used in the production of all
PDS windows, there are no unsightly
knots or other surface imperfections to
spoil the decorative finish, and due to the
impervious nature of the material, there
is no possibility of moisture ingress or
loss, something which can destabilise
conventional timber beading, often
resulting in malperformance.
The ultra slim profiles, designed to mimic
the sight lines of single glazed putty bead,
maximise glass daylight areas and offer
the perfect visible attributes for timber
windows in conservation areas.

WHAT IS A
U-VALUE?
U-values are the measurement of the
amount of heat lost through a material. The
lower the heat loss, the less energy wasted
and the lower the U-value. Third party
thermal calculations have certified that PDS
timber windows are capable of achieving
an ultra low whole window u -value of just
0.8W/m 2 K, well below the minimum
building regulations of 2.0W/m 2 K.
*U-values and energy ratings quoted are achievable on specific
PDS window designs with the appropriate glass combinations

FOLDING DOORSETS
From private dwellings to the most ambitious
store front, restaurant or commercial project,
the obvious benefits for the end user, in terms

*Sheltered accomodation, i.e. premises rented by tenants within a larger building with
common areas and often under part time Warden control, have different approaches
to to Fire evacuation drills with some organisations opting for a complete "stay put"
policy which involves keeping everyone back until the fire service arrive, whilst others
attempt to evacuate those who are ambulant and keep a list of those who are not, and
therefore have to stay put. The increasing age and infirmity of
residents and the challenges often presented by the built
environment, makes this a particularly difficult area to manage.

GRP COMPOSITE
SECURITY DOORSETS
Fibre reinforced plastic, more commonly known
as fibreglass or GRP, is an immensely resilient
lightweight but durable composite material.
Product attributes
- Dense foam core insulates against heat
loss and sound transmission.
- Remarkably authentic timber door appearance.
- Standard through colour choice of Black, Blue,
Green, Red, White, RAL shades and Stained
factory finishes to order.
- Guaranteed against bowing, twisting, rotting,
rusting, splitting, cracking or delamination.
- Independent third party BM Trada accreditation.
- Document ‘M’ aluminium, low level threshold
- Adjustable lock keeps to ensure excellent
weather resistance and eliminate draughts.
- CFC, HCFC, HFC free, with zero ODP & GWP.
- Every doorset individually made to size.
- GRP FD30 & FD60 Fire doorsets also available.
Traditionally associated with the manufacture of power boats and racing cars,
GRP has become the preferred choice of door specifiers, particularly when
the client’s design priorities include enhanced security, high thermal efficiency,
long term best value and the ability to retain a remarkable “new timber door”
appearance over many years, even under extreme weather conditions.
Doors are manufactured by bonding moulded GRP skins onto a robust,
moisture resistant PVCu composite inner framework. The cavity is then injected
with a dense, CFC free, polyurethane foam, providing outstanding thermal
and sound reduction properties. The finished door blades are pre hung into
specifically designed, low maintenance, twin sealed, PVCu doorframes, profiled
to accept a mobility compliant, barrier free, high durability threshold as the
integral fourth side. Locks, door furniture and double glazing, where applicable,
are precisely factory fitted, minimising on site labour costs whilst facilitating
problem free installation and future operation.

PRODUCT
CERTIFICATION
Certificate Number 050/024
Traditionally, double doors
have been difficult to produce with even an
average degree of security and weather
resistance. This is particularly the case with
newbuild properties where invariably a low
level threshold is also a design prerequisite.
PDS standard 44mm Timber and GRP doors can now be
combined with our Gemini interlocking multipoint system and
high performance aluminium mobility access cills, to produce
a low maintenance, enhanced security, French or double
doorset, in order to take advantage of additional light, improve
accessibility or simply to create a room with a view.
Alternatively, to cater for narrower overall opening widths a
hinged sidelight (effectively a reduced width door) can be
introduced, in place of the normal equal size slave door leaf,
to provide periodic or constant wider access - particularly
useful when large items of furniture are being delivered or
removed and possibly a better option than a typical entrance
frame, where often only a standard width door is provided in
order to accommodate a reasonable amount of adjacent glass.
Product attributes
- Secured by Design
- Innovative sequential locking for optimum security
- Ingenious interlocking meeting stiles
- Made - to - measure for extra design flexibility
- Fully adjustable lock keeps

Extract from NHBC’s technical newsletter Standards Extra
In Standards Extra Issue 31 December 2004 NHBC published an article about locks to individual flat entrance doors.
The article explained the need to provide good security whilst still providing escape in the event of a fire without
the need for a key i.e. keyless egress. Since that time NHBC has been working with representatives of the lock
industry, police, insurers and the fire service in developing a suite of British Standards that cover security and
means of escape for all types of dwellings. See or website for full details of this report at www.pdsdoorsets.co.uk
FUNCTION SPECIFIC ENHANCED SECURITY
Alternative SBD locking options from PDS, to satisfy distinct scheme requirements
Ergonomic
Featuring a "lock over latch" configuration with the cylyinder
positioned above, rather than below the handles, making it
more accessible. This component is eminently suitable for
extra-care schemes, and projects involving the partially
sighted. With keyless deadlocking upon exit, the Ergonomic
lock also promotes ease of use for the elderly and infirm.
This product is now also available with a revolutionary battery
operated handle which facilitates simple and cost effective
remote access control.
AV2
Arguably the most secure and commercially viable residential
locking system currently available, due to it's innovative
automatic hook bolt engagement. Continuous, enhanced
(PAS 24 ) levels of security are achieved, simply by closing
the door - with no need to thrust up or "throw" the lever
handle in the manner of conventional multipoints - a process
which certain residents may have trouble coming to terms
with, both conceptually and physically.
AV2E
Automatic hook engagement and full time high security in
the manner of AV2 but with electronic hook and latch
withdrawal which permits access control, and emergency
egress, without the use of a key.
STV Entryguard
Purpose designed multipoint locking system featuring a
hefty integral safety bar. Far stronger than the traditional,
often fairly flimsy, door chain, the EG also incorporates
both an easy to operate internal thumbturn, and a
disengagement facility from outside for an authorised key
holder, in the event of an actual or potential emergency.
Pyroscape Fast Egress
Conventionally operated mechanical Multipoint lock which
permits instant, single action emergency egress from the
inside, even when fully deadlocked, and therefore an ideal
feature to specify on security doorsets in dwellings with
only one main exit point, such as flats or fire escape doors
in sheltered accommodation.

PDS’s manufacturing, service and after sales processes, and indeed our entire business strategy and product
portfolio, continue to be instigated, developed and driven, as a consequence of our sales team perceiving,
anticipating, and responding to, new and specific demands from our core market, whilst acting in the best
interests of our respective customers and the wider environment.
PDS strive to add further value by personalising the transaction, through distinctive service aspects such as
dedicated account management, fast track response for emergency or void property related requirements,
local field representation, on site and in house technical advice and training, survey and installation services
and ‘project specific’ product design and consultation. Moreover, we are always prepared to involve ourselves
with our client’s other key partners and collaborators including architects, contractors and residents, often
providing, for example, a presence at ‘out of hours’ liaison meetings, individually tailored, door choice sheets,
samples, and even fully installed ‘pilot’ doorsets, all at our own expense. We are always anxious to participate
at the earliest possible stage of the programme, in order to fully understand and agree objectives, promote
mutual trust and cooperation, establish realistic and transparent performance monitors, with the firm intention
of consistently exceeding our customer’s highest expectations.
We firmly believe our product and service offer encapsulates all the crucial components of best value and
delivers, via improved production and organisational processes, ongoing technological and human resource
investment, efficient use and recycling of raw and other materials, and effective ‘team’ communication
throughout the complete supply chain, the ultimate extended life cycle door and
window systems.
By opting for GRP security doors in PVCu frames, for example, you will never need to worry about moisture
ingress, leading to excessive movement and potential performance issues. However, timber doors and windows,
due not least to their positive environmental properties are once again in vogue, and if properly prepared and
treated, will also provide high performance with little or no future maintenance implications. To this end, we
factory glaze and spray finish our doors and windows in a controlled environment with high build, low VOC
microporus paints and stains which are designed, not only to enhance the timbers natural beauty, but to
maintain the protection and appearance of the product in order to yield best value.
To further guarantee long term performance we use only engineered, defect and knot free timber with cut
ends protected by a specially developed flexible sealant.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
The genuine everyday involvement and legitimate "hands on"
management style of the business owners, assisted by an

and the most modern computer aided manufacturing
equipment, enables PDS to control quality throughout the entire

confidence to offer our products with a 10 year guarantee
against manufacturing defects.
Ongoing capital investment, independent external third party
product testing and accreditation, in conjunction with routine
quality and systems monitoring, provides further assurance to
our customers that PDS Doorsets and windows are entirely fit
for purpose whilst complying with all the most recent and
relevant industry performance standards thereby providing
demonstrable value for money.

AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS US ALL
We all have a duty to protect the environment for future generations.
To this end, PDS are committed to manufacturing and logistics
processes which make the most efficient use of energy, water, fuel
and other resources, and to supplying only those door and window
products which promote sustainability and healthy homes. We aim
to achieve this in a manner that maximises the quality of these
products and the associated customer service, whilst at the same
time, improving employee productivity and minimising waste, pollution,
C02 emissions and other factors that may have a harmful effect on
the environment

energy efficient and as environmentally friendly as possible. In
